View submission: On what women want
"ample" lmao. pleeeease. There is no evidence that the rate of false testimony is any higher than for any other crime, i.e. a couple of percent at most. But by all means continue to ignore the vast majority of women who are assaulted and go on to see zero justice.

Being accused of rape is - rightly so if guilty - a great deal more socially damaging than other crimes (e.g. even tax evasion).
Is it that wild a take that suggesting someone should first be proved guilty, beyond reasonable doubt, before they're strung through the mud?
e: Some context for you:
According to Hines and Douglas (2017), 73% of men who've experienced partner-initiated violence reported that their partner threatened to make false accusations. This is compared to 3% for men in the general population.
